Wexler is known for his “flintlock fantasy” titled The Shadow Campaigns series, but also for the young adult Forbidden Library fantasy series, the Science Fiction series called about his John Golden character, or the Burningblade & Silvereye Fantasy series. I suppose all I can do is go back to waiting for Blood of the Chosen now.Affiliate disclosure: As an Amazon Associate, we may earn commissions from qualifying purchases from Amazon.Īll of Django Wexler’s Books! Who is Django Wexler?ĭjango Wexler is an American fantasy author who used to work as a programmer and writer for Microsoft in Seattle before turning to write fiction full-time. I mean, really, in the end, if I had any issues it’s that it was only a novella and not a full-length novel. Django Wexler, if you’re reading this, how’s about a sequel? In fact, they’re sort of characters that you want to know more about. Obviously, novellas don’t have time to info-dump or to go in-depth into everything, but here I felt the balance between telling you some things and letting you pick up on the rest was perfect.Īdd onto that characters that you can easily sympathise with, and who have a great dynamic, and you basically have yourself the best kind of novella.

I think what I liked best about this book is just how seamlessly the worldbuilding fit into everything.

(Which, also, I realise is a massively convoluted way of explaining the plot.) Which, obviously, leads to them to go all-or-nothing on a second fight, to each get out of the debts they’re in. When the mecha she bet on loses, she still owes, so she follows Zhi in an attempt to get out of it. The story follows Kas, a junior researcher come down to Old Earth, who ends up embroiled in a con by Zhi, accidentally betting a lot of money she doesn’t have on a mecha fight. At once a self-contained story, but that leaves you wanting more of the world, it’s a book I highly enjoyed reading. If you’re looking for a novella that you can devour in just a few hours, Hard Reboot is for you.
